THE LABOR TEnPLE.
The Semi-AnnuaI Meeting of the
knights of Labor Association.

The semi-annual meeting Of the Knights
of Labor Building association, held last
evening at Swedish Bros hall, was largely
attended. and the interest manifested in
dictates without doubt that the pro-
ject will be energetically carried
forward to completion. President Thomas
Clark called the meeting to order and W.
II. Grmshaw, the architect, gave de-
tailed explanation of the plans. He adj
vised that the building should not be made
fire proof on account of the cost. He
thought a building constructed SO
as to be ''slow burning" would
do quite as well. Some discussion
ensued on this point, but the architects
suggestion was finally adopted. The pres-
dent reported u, 900 subscribers to the stock
of the association, who hold an average of
two and two-thirds shares. The secre-
tary's report was read showing 5000 re-
ceipts, and the treasurers that 81, 500 has
been expended.
The chairman of the building committee
made lengthy report, in which he detailed
the history of the association, and gave an
explanation of the plans. The election of
directors was next held, resulting in the
election OF George S. Boyd, CAS-. Higley,
c. w. Palmenter. Frank Walker and G. q.
Fox.

good colors to mix on the matrimonial palette.
Col. r. G. Evans is making q bold, bad
break for the city attorneyship. The an
nouncement will make to-day anything but
proud for Capt. j. N. Cross.
"a Parlor Match" at the Grand, and the
"Beer Garden" at the city hall were the
humorous attractions in the city.
The accounts of the. water board are to be
examined by an expert. The conclusion must
not be jumped at that something is wrong.
This action is simply to formally release the
bondsmen of the superintendent.
Next Friday the council committee on paw
ing will make an excursion to examine the
Kittle river sandstone quarres. The hope is
earnestly expressed that the visiting states-
men may return in safety.

CHICAGO. March s.-The winter hog
packing season, which lasts about one
hundred working days in Chicago, closed
the last day of February. While Cincin-
natl, st. Louis, Kansas City and other
packing centers in the West turned out an
increased product, Chicago ran behind. the
shortage, as against last season, being in
round numbers 100000 hogs. The cause
OF the shortage was, it is stated, the great
strike at the stock yards and its direct or
indirect effect upon the business of the
packers and the Chicago market. A local
packer, computing the number of men idle
and wages lost on account of this shortage.
says it is evident that a shortage of 700. 900
hogs this season means loss of $500, 900 in
wages, and that at least 5000 men, skilled
and unskilled. who were employed last sea-
son failed to find work.

A MILD ROMANCE.
1t Consists of Two Chapters, the
LAST One Som e w hof UnpieaSant.

Last One Somewhat Unpleasant.
The sequel of romantic elopement and
clandestine marriage that took place in
1883 was made public yesterday when the
divorce case of Harriet p. Gray against
James j. Gray. on the ground of desertion,
was tried before Judge Young. The case
was to have been heard at the special term
Saturday, but owing to the fact that some
OF the witnesses. who reside in Dakota,
were Snow-bound and could not reach here,
1t was postponed until yesterday. The
facts III the case are these: During the
summer of 1888 Miss Harriet p. Green,
daughter of c. +. Green. who then resided
on Sixteenth avenue south, met James
Gray, young man about 81 years of age.
Miss Green was 10 years of age, and as
both the young people were quite romantic.
deep love soon Sprang up between them.
They were together much of the time. but
they carefully kept their love affair from
the knowledge of Mr.. and Mrs. Green, who
did not look favorably upon Gray. Sept.
Is, 1888, both Miss Green and Mr.. Gray
disappeared, and the following day
came back to Minneapolis as hus-
band and wife, having been mar
ried at Hudson, Wis. Mr.. Green
made the best of bad bargain, and for
some six weeks the young couple resided at
his house, paying no board and taking life
very easily. One day Gray left, and since
that time has not been near his wife, nor
has he contributed anything toward her
support Some two years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Green moved to WATERFOWL. Dak., leaving
Mrs. Gray here. She obtained position
in one of the large stores under the name of
Miss Green, and has supported herself.
When she began divorce proceedings in
December last her lawyer saw Mr.. Gray,
who remarked that he had left his wife and
would never live with her again. AS Mrs.
Gray declares that he never had anything
of his own, and never asked her to go to
housekeeping, she does not appear to have
lost much. Judge Young, after hearing
the testimony, granted the divorce.

The Presbyterian Alliance.


The Presby terrain alliance met last night
in the lecture room of Westminster church.
with about twenty-five gentlemen present.
Rev. j. NJ. Patterson. the president. intro
duced Rev. Mr.. Caldwell, of the Shiloah
church, who read an able paper OH 'Shall
the Presbyterian Church of Minnesota be
Self-Supporting Next Year in the Home
Missionary Work?" The gentleman
showed that the state is abund-
antly able to support all the churches
within it's limits. There are now
eighty-three Presbyterian 0churches in the
state. If the support of the Home Mission
board were withdrawn a few of the weak
est might have to disband, but the great
majority of them can do more for their own
support than they are now doing. The
speaker urged that at any rate the cities of
Minneapolis and ST. Paul should support
the churches within their borders. Inter-
esting statistics were given; the paper had
evidently been carefully prepared and fully
merited the close attention it received.
The discussion which followed proved
the subject prolific one. Prof. McLain
urged greater sociabilty between the
churches, and cited the benefcent work
ings of the Congregational club. He
thought the two cities could easily raise
SIS. 600 for home missions, and this with
the SIS, 900 that the assisted churches them
selves and the independent churches out
side the city could raise would relieve the
home mission board entirely.
Rev. Mr.. Adams, the synodical mission
airy, thought the Twin Cities could be re-
lied upon to support the churches in their
midst He urged education in the churches
in the line of self-support. Rev. S. B.
Williams wants something done toward
securing larger attendance at the alliance
meetings, and committee, consisting of
Prof. McLain, S. B. Williams and Capt.
Whitney was appointed to consider the
enlargement of the influence of the society.
Several other gentlemen took part in the
discussion of the paper after which the
meeting adjourned.

ing, the ladies bringing their luncheon with
them. A large audience was present and
great deal of interest manifested. The
Congregational society is leader in the
home mission field, and the churches
of Minneapolis are doing very creditable
work. Papers were read which compre-
hended the whole home missionary field
as covered by the Congregational church.
A collection was taken for the American
Church union. Mrs. Prof Hall read an
interesting letter from Mrs. E. S. Williams
the president Of the union. who is in Cali
fornia.

THEY TACKLE IT.
The Council Committee or Water.
Works Faces It's Task.

The new water board" or rather the
council committee on water-works. met yes
terday morning to take the necessary steps
towards organization of the work Of what is
considered to be the most important branch
of the city government. Aid. Sly made the
motion that the engineering department of
the work be placed under the supervision of
the city engineer, which was carried. AS
to the superntendency of the water board
there was some discussion. Some seemed
to think that j. W. Henion had been re-
moved from the Office by the act of the
legislature, and that a reappointm ent
by the city council was necessary. Finally,
as a short way out of the complication.
Aid. Sly moved the recommendation to the
council that Col. Henion be retained as SUI
perintendent, and there was no objection.
Aid. Fleetham moved that the council
should instruct the superintendent to adver-
tise for bids for the hauling of pipe, which
was carried. The committee then tackled
one of the propositions which will come up
for immediate action, viz: the new pump
ing station. Aid. Barrows favored the
purchase of ten-acre site and the estab-
liShment of new pumping station up the
river. Aid. Mills however, was in favor of
a reservoir system in section 16, of st. An
thony township, and pumping station To-
Gated above Single creek. Aid. Fleetham
advised the immediate purchase of ground.
Finally. the committee decided to recon-
mend the purchase of site and plant for
a new pump ny station. The committee on
accounts was authorized to hire an expert
to examine the accounts of the old board,
in accordance with the request of Supt
Henion.
